I highly recommend “Benjamin Graham on Value Investing: Lessons from the Dean of Wall Street”, a biography by Janet Lowe.

Benjamin Graham practically invented the securities analysis profession. He literally wrote their book, “Security Analysis” first published in 1934 - still in print after multiple updates.

Graham’s even more popular book, “The Intelligent Investor” brought the value investing concept to individual investors; In that work Graham popularized terms that remain core to value investing; “intrinsic value”, “margin of safety”, and “Mr. Market”. Warren Buffet called “The Intelligent Investor” the best book on investing he ever read.

Janet Lowe’s treatment of Graham’s life and his life’s work is interesting, easy to read, and presents Graham’s core investing principles in simple terms.

I enjoyed “Benjamin Graham on Value Investing” and I also learned a good bit from it.
